I never cook a seafood gumbo without a few boiled crabs in it. I don't use sausage or okra, however i've had good seafood gumbo with okra.

Because it's gumbo.

That is stock. Meaning the liquid you add to roux or smothered okra. Are you saying that the referenced chefs/cooks using that stock don’t also make a roux?

I saw a recipe dated before the civil war that included okra, chicken, oysters, crabs and ham. Guessing sausage hadn’t made it to the dirty south yet?

I know people who put sausage in their seafood gumbo; whatever. For me, personally, it’s a no go. If I’m going to spend the time and money to make a seafood gumbo, I don’t want sausage overpowering the delicate flavors I’ve worked to create.

No.

Just that the flavors in the recipe I mentioned are really good and get better with age, and that I have had enough gumbo that tasted like gravy to be wary of it.

Edit: I was actually also hoping for some commentary on the spice combination. I'm thinking of experimenting with a home made seasoning blend to try to layer those tastes into other dishes.
